You can't have listened to the Bon Scott stuff very well then because each album sounds totally different to the one that came before it.

I agree with Urban on the Scott era albums all being different. I think for Scott studio albums, Dirty Deeds and Powerage are the best.

This is almost an impossible question. The traditionalist will always say Bon Scott but its almost as if Brian Johnson was meant to be in the band. We lost Bon so early its hard to tell. I can choose give me both!

Personally I like Bon Scott better than Brian Johnson, but I admire Brian for filling Bon's role as well as he did. Those were some big shoes to fill vocally.

This is a rock-n-roll vs rock music question IMO. Bon Scott was a rock-n-roller. They had the boogie woogie, chuck berry riffs and a greaser's attitude. AC DC with Brian was just another rock band.

Have a romantic date? gotta go with Brian Wilson.

Have a tasty **** buddy? gotta go with Bon Scott.

I chose Bon Scott. Like them both though. Bon was a better lyric writer and all around singer. His charisma is missed in AC/DC

Brian Johnson.

Just think he is a better singer.

Bon Scott, even though he had a cooler image and alot more charisma, was just an ok singer.
